Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

Signs of a hidden leak include an unexplained spike in your water bill, the sound of running water when nothing is on, warm or wet spots on floors or walls, mold or mildew smell, low water pressure, or cracks appearing in your foundation. If your water meter is spinning when all fixtures are off, you likely have a leak. Call Topline Plumbing at (530) 704-6989.

What is a slab leak and how serious is it?

A slab leak is a water or sewer pipe leak beneath your concrete foundation. Redding's extreme heat cycles cause the ground to expand and contract, which stresses pipes under the slab over time. Left untreated, slab leaks can erode your foundation, cause mold growth, and lead to structural damage. Early detection is critical — call (530) 704-6989 at the first sign.

How much does leak detection cost in Redding, CA?

Leak detection cost varies by complexity and location. It is almost always worth it — a hidden slab or wall leak left undetected can cause thousands in water damage and mold remediation. We quote every job upfront before any work begins. Call (530) 704-6989 for an estimate.

Do you use non-invasive leak detection methods?

Yes. Topline Plumbing uses electronic leak detection and acoustic listening equipment to pinpoint leaks without tearing open walls or jackhammering floors unnecessarily. We locate the leak first, then make the smallest possible access point to fix it.

Can a leak detection test find leaks in my irrigation or pool lines?

Yes. We can detect leaks in irrigation systems, pool plumbing, and outdoor supply lines in addition to interior plumbing. If your water bill is high and you can't find the source, we can run a full property leak test to find it. Call (530) 704-6989.
